Look, who is Kentry?

Quote: Dean

Welcome to the WOV Forums, Nathan. You really don't seem all that much like Kentry to me. Kentry was a guy who ran around telling TMI about how much money was in his bank account(seriously, who tells complete strangers on the internet their bank account amount?) and saying that his Mom kicked his ass for gambling away his haircut money. People were questioning his age(were wondering if he was underage as most grown adults do not get haircut money from their mothers. The fact that he was elusive about his age only drew more suspicion. Plus, there was the way he "talked" like a innocent kid which didn't help matters.He also would post that he was excited that he won $5 off a 1 cent bet! There was something incredibly naïve about him. If anything, Krava seems a thousand more times like Kentry than you do. Krava asked something like , "Can I take my player's card out of my machine when I get a bonus so that the win doesn't show up on my taxes?" That seems like something Kentry would have asked . A poster even downright called Krava Kentry Jr.

The only thing that seemed a bit naïve about you was your "Do 20 spins maximum and then stop and go to another slot if you don't get the bonus." But you would have to make like 10 posts like that before you seem like Kentry. ;)

I said the "Do 20 spins maximum because someone said they kept doing constant spins with no bonus, so I said the maximum amount of spins you should do is 20 if the bonus is not coming. It's better to lose $20 than $200(I know from experience that chasing bonuses is a bad idea. I once went 600 spins before I got a bonus and the bonus was a bad bonus that only gave me roughly $3 back when I had put a whole lot more than $3 chasing the bonus. Had I done just 20 spins I would have done much better.

How would not wasting anymore money in a cold machine not help?

And let's not forget that if someone leaves after 20 spins- he or she may still be able to get a haircut

Guess I'll add one Nicole miracle to the ace of spades and Alan category of people who need to announce their departure or who they are blocking - I'm crushed and devastated

If they leave after 20 spins, they might be able to see you before you see them. Maybe you should apply as a moderator or private forum detective. I think you're [linkdisabled =https://wizardofvegas.com/block/wizardofnothing/]just pointing fingers.

aps you'll read what The Wizard and others have to say about slots and other games, perhaps you'll realize what you're saying is completely opposite of what knowledgeable people actually know.

Quote: MrV

The Wiz correctly points out how slots have a high house edge; he suggests that if you want to play slots (most casino gamblers do), then a player should do three things: always use a player's card; play higher denomination slots; and consider switching from slots to VP if machine play is your thing.

But let's look at "what knowledgeable people actually know:" the house has the edge on all of its games of chance, with fewer and farther between AP opportunities available.

Games which involve an element of skill such as sports betting and poker are a "knowledgeable" players best bet, at least if they have some skill at it: otherwise, really, why gamble at all?

Give the people what they want: bread, circuses, and slots.
